I am an NRI(Indian citizen residing in USA).I am married but have decided to retain my maiden name in every document including Indian passport(everywhere in USA as well). However years before, my family applied for my PAN card which states my marriage name, by showing my marriage certificate, though I have never officially changed my maiden name anywhere. This is creating a lot of issues for me everywhere in India. I want to change my PAN card to my maiden name. I am told that if I apply for a brand new card then it will check my fathers name and date of birth and hence will find that there is another card with a different surname already in the system, so it will reject my application.If I apply for a change/correction than they will ask proof of my marriage name and I have no document with my marriage name except my marriage certificate.

You may have to be clear about the legal status of your marriage. Do you have any life insurance or joint deposits or joint accounts in your current name ( husband's name as the surname)What is the actual name on your AAdaar card, Driving license and Voters ID.Since you are an NRI do you have any NRI/NRE account or deposits in India or deposits/mortgages overseas? I would suggest please consider all these and the implications of your name change on each aspect of your financial instrument, assets and legal rights to shared property etc. Only when sure, change your Pancard. If need be consulted a good tax consultant who knows the legal implications very well.
